Evaluating U.S. Biosafety and Biosecurity for Pandemic Pathogen Research
SOS:BIO - Assessing U.S. Biosafety and Biosecurity Compliance for Potential Pandemic Pathogen Research and Dual Use Research of Concern
['FUNDING_R01'] · ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY-TEMPE CAMPUS · NIH-11044082
This study is looking at how well people working with potentially dangerous germs and research practices understand safety rules and what they do to keep everyone safe, so we can find ways to improve safety in pandemic research for everyone involved.

What this research studies
This research investigates the knowledge and practices of biosafety and biosecurity personnel and scientific researchers involved in Potential Pandemic Pathogens (PPPs) and Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) across various sectors in the U.S. The project aims to assess current understanding and identify gaps in biosafety and biosecurity policies and practices. By examining these areas, the research seeks to provide recommendations for enhancing compliance and safety measures in pandemic-related research. This effort will involve data collection and analysis from academic, industry, government, and amateur science sectors.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation or benefit include biosafety and biosecurity personnel, researchers, and institutions involved in pandemic pathogen research.
Not a fit: Patients not involved in biosafety or biosecurity research or those outside the scientific community may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved safety protocols and policies that protect public health during pandemic research.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on biosafety and biosecurity, this research aims to create a new baseline understanding, making it a novel approach.
